Quiet

"What's the perfect balance
Between yelling too much
Or not yelling enough
So that people don't walk over you?
Is it a crime to just want to be nice?
To avoid confrontation 
And show everyone a little respect?

Time after time
I find that I'm struggling
To tell you 
What's burning inside
A glimmer of hope 
That you'll finally see..
Yet I remain quiet."  ~ Quiet by Jonathan Reid Gealt.
